[Verse 1]
The Dcanals and the bridges, the emGbankments and Dcuts
They Dblasted and Bmdug with their Gsweat and their Aguts
They Gnever drank Dwater but Gwhisky by Dpints
And the Dshanty towns Grang with their Asongs and their Dfights
[Chorus]
NaviDgator, Navigator rise Gup and be Dstrong
The Dmorning is Bmhere and there's Gwork to be Adone
Take your Gpick and your Dshovel and the Gbold dynaDmite
For to Dshift a few Gtons of this Aearthly Ddelight
Yes to Dshift a few Gtons of this Aearthly Ddelight
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
They Ddied in their hundreds with no Gsign to mark Dwhere
Save the Dbrass in the Bmpocket of the GentrepreAneur
By Glandslide and Drockblast they got Gburied so Ddeep
That in Ddeath if not Glife they'll have Apeace while they Dsleep
[Chorus]
NaviDgator, Navigator rise Gup and be Dstrong
The Dmorning is Bmhere and there's Gwork to be Adone
Take your Gpick and your Dshovel and the Gbold dynaDmite
For to Dshift a few Gtons of this Aearthly Ddelight
Yes to Dshift a few Gtons of this Aearthly Ddelight

Their Dmark on this land is still Gseen and still Dlaid
The Dway for a Bmcommerce where vast Gfortunes were Amade
The Gsupply of an DEmpire where the Gsun never Dset
Which is Dnow deep in Gdarkness, but the Arailway's there Dyet
[Chorus]
NaviDgator, Navigator rise Gup and be Dstrong
The Dmorning is Bmhere and there's Gwork to be Adone
Take your Gpick and your Dshovel and the Gbold dynaDmite
